We are delighted that one of our Sponsors Anglepoise® has had their iconic lamp design selected by the Design Museum as one of six design stories investigating the impact of contemporary design on our everyday lives.

Extraordinary Stories about Ordinary Things reveals intriguing insights in the most exceptional of everyday objects and will remain on permanent display until 2015, moving to the Kensington site when the Design Museum relocates.

The Anglepoise® story, which focuses on the development of the original concept design over it’s 80-year history, is presented alongside fascinating displays exploring national identity, the dominance of plastic, the dynamism of Modernism, the balance of form and function in fashion and the process of collecting.
